It’s been an interesting offseason for both the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles. While no one was certain what Jordan Love would do last year, pundits were more assured about Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles had made it to Super Bowl 57 against the Kansas City Chiefs, which was a close game which could have gone either way, and then rocketed to a 10-1 start in the 2023 regular season.
What transpired over the second half of the 2023-24 season was atypical. Philadelphia ranked as one of the worst defenses in the league, lost five of its final six games, and was blown out by Tampa Bay of all teams in the playoffs.
But as Philly meets Green Bay on Friday, September 6, at Neo QuÃmica Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil, it’s the Eagles who are set as two-point favorites in the Week 1 NFL odds. Kickoff is set for 8:20pm ET. The weather forecast is moderate with temperatures expected to be in the 60s at kickoff. Peacock is streaming the broadcast in the US, with other streaming available through YouTube and NFL+.
Let’s look at the best Packers vs Eagles Week 1 player props and touchdown-scorer odds available.

| AJ Brown (PHI) | 5.5 (Ov-115/Un-115) | 71.5 (Ov-110/Un-120) | 23,5 (Ov-120/Un-110) |
| DeVonta Smith (PHI) | 4.5 (Ov-135/Un+105) | 60.5 (Ov-115/Un-115) | 22.5 (Ov-120/Un-110) |
| Dallas Goedert (PHI) | 4.5 (Ov+115/Un-145) | 38.5 (Ov-115/Un-115) | 16.5 (Ov-115/Un-115) |
Both quarterbacks have a passing touchdown total of 1.5 with Love more of a favorite to go over (-145) than Hurts (+110). AJ Brown has the highest receiving yardage prop in the NFL player props at 71.5. The two starting running backs – Green Bay’s Josh Jacobs and Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley – are only at 63.5 rushing yards in their first games with their new teams.

All odds as of Sep. 5. Lock in this DraftKings promo code before betting on Packers vs Eagles Friday night.
Packers vs Eagles Prop #1: Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown
Philadelphia has decent running back depth, which means Barkley will be the starter but won’t be overly taxed. The former New York Giants running back ran for 962 yards in 14 games last season despite one of the worst-ranked offensive lines. Philadelphia possesses a better line and Barkley goes up against a Packers defense that allowed the fifth-most yards to runners. Green Bay defends a little better against the pass.
No one would be surprised to see Barkley run for more than 64 yards on Friday night. There is an alternative total at 71 yards for +130 at DraftKings. Given the nice grass field, running the ball might be more of a priority for Philadelphia at times against Green Bay. It would set up the pass.
Also, our pick is for Barkley to get into the end zone. The nice thing is the running back can grab a touchdown via receiving or rushing (4 receiving, 8 rushing last year). The running back wants to prove last year as a Giant was a fluke.
- Packers vs Eagles Prop Picks: Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown (-110), 1 unit risked at DraftKings
Packers vs Eagles Prop #2: Christian Watson Longest Reception Over 19.5 Yards
Hope springs eternal when it comes to Week 1 of the NFL season, Unfortunately, the dreaded injury reports can scare the living daylights out of bettors. However, one matchup that can be exploited is Christian Watson against the Philadelphia Eagles secondary. Besides the Eagles allowing 30.3 points per game last year, they gave up a ton of 20+ yard pass plays late in the season.
Again, his Over on receiving yards could be explored too. That depends on the status of several Green Bay players including Romeo Doubs who was limited at practice this week. Watson’s speed is a game changer and the inevitability he gets open a few times down the field is hard to pass up. Expect the third-year pro to grab at least one 20+ yard reception on Friday night.
- Packers vs Eagles Prop Picks: Christian Watson Longest Reception Over 19.5 Yards (-110), 1 unit risked at DraftKings
Packers vs Eagles TD Scoring Odds
| Player | Odds to Score First TD | Odds to Score Any TD |
|---|---|---|
| Saquon Barkley (PHI) | +600 | -110 |
| Jalen Hurts (PHI) | +600 | -105 |
| Josh Jacobs (GBP) | +800 | +115 |
| AJ Brown (PHI) | +800 | +110 |
| DeVonta Smith (PHI) | +1100 | +160 |
| Dallas Goedert (PHI) | +1200 | +195 |
| Christian Watson (GBP) | +1200 | +170 |
| Jayden Reed (GBP) | +1400 | +200 |
| Romeo Doubs (GBP) | +1400 | +225 |
| Jordan Love (GBP) | +2000 | +330 |
| MarShawn Lloyd (LAC) | +2200 | +400 |
Packers vs Eagles Prop #3: Jordan Love Throws for Multiple Touchdowns
Jordan Love will get his chances to get the ball down the field on Friday night. Consider the bookends of the 2023-24 season for the signal-caller. He threw two or more touchdown passes to start the season in consecutive games to start and four straight to end the campaign. Love made a few mistakes but always seemed to find the end zone on multiple occasions.
Honestly, there are more risky wagers to be made. Also, one could bet on the yards or completions. However, the over on the touchdowns helps out your Packers vs Eagles picks. Philadelphia gave up the second-most passing touchdowns in the league.
- Packers vs Eagles Prop Picks: Jordan Love over 1.5 touchdowns (-145), 1 unit risked on DraftKings
